FortiGate-5000 series Installation Guide
Each FortiGate-5000 series module is a standalone FortiGate security system that
can also function as part of a FortiGate HA cluster. All FortiGate-5000 series modules
are also hot swappable. All FortiGate-5000 series units are high capacity security
systems with multiple gigabit interfaces, multiple virtual domain capacity, and other
high end FortiGate features.
The FortiGate-5001SX module is an independent high-performance FortiGate
security system with eight Gigabit ethernet interfaces. The FortiGate
supports high-end features including 802.1Q VLANs and multiple virtual domains. For
details about the FortiGate-5001SX module, see the
Guide.
The FortiGate-5001FA2 module is an independent high-performance FortiGate
security system with six Gigabit ethernet interfaces. The FortiGate-5001FA2 module
is similar to the FortiGate-5001SX module except that two of the FortiGate-5001FA2
interfaces include Fortinet technology to accelerate small packet performance. For
details about the FortiGate-5001FA2 module, see the
Hardware Guide.
The FortiGate-5002FB2 module is an independent high-performance FortiGate
security system with a total of 6 Gigabit ethernet interfaces. Two of the
FortiGate-5002FB2 interfaces include Fortinet technology to accelerate small packet
performance. For details about the FortiGate-5002FB2 module, see the
FortiGate-5000 series Hardware
The FortiSwitch-5003 module provides HA heartbeat communication between
FortiGate security modules installed in FortiGate-5140 or FortiGate-5050 chassis. The
FortiSwitch-5003 module can also provide HA heartbeat communication between
chassis. The FortiSwitch-5003 module is only used in FortiGate-5140 and FortiGate-
5050 chassis. For details about the FortiGate-5002FB2 module, see the
FortiGate-5000 series Hardware
